Equipment and Care Technology House

Smart home monitoring

Smart technology can help you live safely and independently at home by keeping you connected to family and carers.  Smart technology can learn routines and alert contacts to any potential problems. Smart home monitoring can include movement sensors and smart plugs which are linked to virtual assistant technology such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assist. 

Benefits

Some systems incorporate cameras, providing an in-the-moment of view of how a loved one is doing.

Some systems do not require a landline.

May be a more affordable option in the long term than a 24-hour call centre.

Things to consider

Some systems require a reliable broadband and Wi-Fi connection.

There won't necessarily be someone on hand to respond to an emergency all day every day.
